Effects of Heat Treatment on Hydroformability of Aluminum Tubes

Recently social demands of fuel economy and environmental regulation require the development of light materials and new manufacturing technologies. In this point, aluminum tube hydroforming, which is satisfied with good strength-to-weight ratio and recyclability, is new innovative concept. but, up to now the level of that is relatively low. In this paper, we studied formability of different aluminum tubes in different heat treatments under internal pressure and axial feeding, and mechanical properties of aluminum tubes before and after hydroforming.
